Dr. Annie Andrews, a Lowcountry pediatrician and Democratic candidate for the First Congressional District, today released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, which effectively overturns Roe v. Wade:
“As a mother of two daughters, I am devastated and infuriated that they are now poised to grow up with fewer rights than my mother had. This is exactly what Nancy Mace's Republican extremist party has spent decades fighting to accomplish. It is more important than ever to vote them out, NOW. With this ruling, it is now up to Congress to codify abortion rights into law. Even though I am running against a woman, make no mistake, I am the only woman in this race who will fight for Lowcountry women to make their own reproductive decisions without interference from extremist politicians.”
